Official Urges Ferreting Out of Mine Flooding Cause

Li Rongrong, head of the State Economic and Trade Commission, said Tuesday that breakthrough has been made in the investigation of Guangxi's tin mine flooding that has left 81 miners missing.

The State Council will dispatch an investigation group to Guangxi, south China, to find out the cause of the accident as soon as possible.

Two tin mines in Nandan County of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were flooded on July 17, and the accident had not been reported until half a month later. An investigation group from the central government went to Nandan County on August 4.

Li said preliminary investigation shows that organized criminal gangs are found to have involved in causing the accident and holding back the truth. The State Council investigation group will carry a thorough probe into the accident.

So far five top county officials have been either dismissed from their posts or suspended for neglecting their duties.
